๐Ÿš€ Project Structure

Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:

โ”œโ”€โ”€ public/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ src/
โ”‚ย ย  โ”œโ”€โ”€ components/
โ”‚ย ย  โ”œโ”€โ”€ content/
โ”‚ย ย  โ”œโ”€โ”€ layouts/
โ”‚ย ย  โ””โ”€โ”€ pages/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ astro.config.mjs
โ”œโ”€โ”€ README.md
โ”œโ”€โ”€ package.json
โ””โ”€โ”€ tsconfig.json

Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.

There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.

The src/content/ directory contains "collections" of related Markdown and MDX documents. Use getCollection() to retrieve posts from src/content/blog/, and type-check your frontmatter using an optional schema. See Astro's Content Collections docs to learn more.

Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.

๐Ÿงž Commands

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

Command Action
npm install Installs dependencies
npm run dev Starts local dev server at localhost:4321
npm run build Build your production site to ./dist/
npm run preview Preview your build locally, before deploying
npm run astro ... Run CLI commands like astro add, astro check
npm run astro -- --help Get help using the Astro CLI
